Well, I dont know if that is necessarily true in this case. Remember Hawaii has alot of military members and family (who overwhelmingly support the war).
I also dont believe in the undecideds breaking against the incumbent. This is such a democratic state, why cant the democrats commit to voting for kerry? There must be something they dont like.
I dont expect hawaii to go to bush, but its very interesting its that close.
-
Per the Honolulu adviser, Bush leads Hawaii 43.3% to 42.6% in a 2 person race. Nader is currently in court trying to get on the ballot in hawaii, where he drew over 5% of the vote in 2000. This is a state gore won by 19%, and a state that is very democratic. These 4 electoral votes could make things VERY interesting if bush takes hawaii (and also could make election night VERY VERY late...)

Very interesting. What is more interesting is that I told people 2 years ago that I thought this is what clinton wanted. Hmm...perhaps I should get my own radio show.

I would root for the sox if they were playing al-quaida...other than that...
-
This buildup for the redsox is exactly what they dont need. Let it be! Make the pressure of winning so unbearable they cant do it!

He has been an anti-bush guy for a while now. I was suprised to see him endorse bush. Not that I though he would endorse kerry, but I thought for sure he would stay out of it.
I posted this, not because I like bush or even because he was endorsed by buchanan, but because buchanans statements very closely mirror my setiments on this election. Even still I intend to vote third party.

Endorses Bush, but its not what you think

"in the contest between Bush and Kerry, I am compelled to endorse the president of the United States. Why? Because, while Bush and Kerry are both wrong on Iraq, Sharon, NAFTA, the WTO, open borders, affirmative action, amnesty, free trade, foreign aid, and Big Government, Bush is right on taxes, judges, sovereignty, and values. Kerry is right on nothing."
I think he hit the nail on the head with this one.

Yes...all we need is more cowbell

2) The kickoff out of bounds in the 4th quarter. The Dolphins return man, who was standing out of bounds, touched the kickoff while IT WAS STILL INBOUNDS!! It should have been 'Fins ball inside the 10, not at the 40. Who is deciding what calls to challenge, and why aren't they paying attention???
As I understand it, the player was out of bounds when he touched the ball, making the penalty legit.

I am a little unsure of exactly what it is you think he could tell miami. I mean, our offensive attack has been pretty well...offensive. What will he say? Drew is washed up and put pressure on him and he cant do crap. The offensive line cant block, and MM is incapable of coming up with anything other than what you have seen on tape for the last 4 weeks? Come on...who cares. As far as I am concerned we could just post our playbook on BB.com.
-
So, I have now been offered Harrison for Tiki Barber...Do I do it? I mean, Barber is playing way over his head, and harrison is treading water. If this was week 1, i do it in a second. If I had any confidence in henry or taylor i do it in a second. But now im not so sure...

Also, teams knolw we HAVE to move one of them. not helping our case much
-
Well, what do you guys expect him to say? "we are horrible and its all my fault"?
Of course he is going to put a good spin on it. He has to! HIS job is on the line. This is the Bush syndrome as well. Say you made mistakes and its your demise. Dont admit any mistakes and you look arogant and self absorbed. You cant win in this situation, so TD (and to an extent bush) try to put things in the best light possible to make themselves look as best they can. I dont blame him for his comments one bit.
And for the record, I think TD has done a good job bringing talent to the bills, and there are very few things I would second gess. Obviously things arent working out as I hope they would have, but I have a hard time crawling down his neck because virtually every move he has made I have praised at the time. I dont get it. I like this team the way it is, and If I was GM, it woudlnt look much different. Maybe we need new blood, but I still refuse to believe td is the problem (but I have no good guess as to what the problem is exactly, so being the top guy, maybe he needs to go.).

It just goes to show you can't make chicken soup out of chicken ****.
Well, I think McNally has proved that you can. Its just that the soup is awfully fatty, tastes funny and you choke alot.
-
Oh, and while we are at it, how about we amend the rules stating that coaches in the playoffs cant interview...or make no coaching hires made until after the superbowl.
-
I think there are 2 aspects to this here.
1) TD does not want to hire the guy who will want total control over the team and essentially drive him out of town.
2) TD wants to be the guy who hires the next great rookie coach (ala marvin lewis). He feels his guys can come up and be great coaches and not have the demands that a bill parcells (for instance) would want.
I dont think money alone is the problem, but I think TD wants a guy who he can call his own and not worry about his job. Unfortunatly for him, the coaches he hired might cost him his job in a completely different way.

Best case scenairo- we find a quality receiving te and won't have to draft one and can focus on the oline and getting a GOOD pass rushing defensive end.
Worst case scenairo- Tim Euhus sucks, we find that out early ride out the season with cement shoes and Nufeld and go after a te in the draft or if any are available free agency.
Yes, best and worst case Scenarios...however, what will happen is that he will show some progress and potential, we wont address the problem in the offseaon, and he will be horrible next season. always the optimist....
-
Thanks guys. I made an offer for Harrison. Muhammad and Taylor for harrison. See where that goes. Thanks for your help. And no...i havent been starting barber....unfortunatly. i still cant believe im 0-4 with this team
-
Well...my team that shocked the world when i posted my roster here after the draft is now 0-4.
My Current RBs
Green
Henry
Taylor
Barber
My Current TEs
Boo Williams
LJ Smith
I was offered Taylor for Crumpler. Do I do it?
I also have Vick/McNair and Roth as QB
WRs: Stallworth, Roy Williams, Muhammad and Stokley
I think Crumpler would be a good upgrade at TE, and I dont lose much (perhaps I even gain) if i start henry or barber instead of taylor....

Two words why we should start Losman asap: Drew Bledsoe
I do not get this argument AT ALL.
1) Losman wont even be healthy until November 1 at the earliest. If bledsoe is as bad as people think, we will be 0-7 at that point, 2-5 in a best case scenario, and playoffs are out of the question, so why the rush to get the rookie in? IF bledsoe turns it around, we could be looking at 3-4 or 4-3, at which point, bledsoe is playing fine and no need to bring in the rookie. Contined play by bledsoe would put playoffs in reach
2) Losman is EXTEMELY talented, but EXTREMELY raw. He needs more time on the practice field. He was never projected to see the field this year, or even next year, clearly he is not ready now.
3) He would have just gotten back from an injury. Nascar says cautions breed cautions, well in football injuries breed injuries. Let him take it easy the rest of the year, since under my scenario outlined in 1, we will either be in it or out of it when losman comes back.
4) Because he just got back from injury, he will have spent a total of a game and a half on the field, and just a fraction of that with the first team offense. The chemistry is not there yet.

Can anybody give me a list of great QB's that were eased in?
Well...modern day QBs...
Chad Pennington under Testaverde
McNair only started 2 games his rookie season, and 4 in his 2nd year
Cullpepper sat his first year in the league
Favre., though a 2nd round pick, sat out his rookie year
...And we all know bradys story. (though he wasnt a high draft pick)
My gut feeling is that there are just as many QBs who start their rookie year and go on to greatness as they are that fail and leave the league after starting thier rookie years.
The one thing that we HAVE to remember here, is that losman is a project. The sentiment on draft day was that he comes in here, and needs alot of work. He was projected to be our starter 2-3 years down the road. Now people want to bring him in after 6 weeks of his rookie season when he has been out with a broken leg since training camp. Unreal expectations folks.

Adding to the dismay is the lack of a #1 pick...which with every loss looks higher and higher
-
If we expect to trade WM at year end, he currently has no (or little) trade value. This is not good. And if we lose next week, we can pretty much write off playoffs (though todays loss goes a long way to further that) . We need to give him time if we are going to trade him. TH is looking pretty poor himself. Its not looking good for regaining that #1. Though TH to MIA for their #1 is looking pretty good right now

I have a directv tivo reciever on one tv, but I want to use my old Tivo with my other TV. For some reason I cant figure out how to connect a standard tivo unit with a directv reciever. anyone know of a wiring map, or perhaps an easy way to do this?
Sad News NASCAR Hendrick plane
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Nascar has confirmed they have spoken with Rick Hendrick, so he was not on the plane...But this is still a HUGE loss for the auto racing. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire hendrick family and the racing community.
